How has squatting contributed to the production of art and culture?
During times where the cost of rent and living rises well beyond the
ability of cultural workers to support themselves in the metropolis,
squatting has played an important role in making possible the
continued existence of autonomous art and culture.<br>
<br>
Come and join us for this daylong event that will seek together to
bring materials and experiences of how occupations and squatting
have contributed to the production of autonomous culture. From
social centres to free schools, temporary galleries to combined
studios and living spaces, we invite people to bring along materials
from your projects that explore these questions and connections.<br>
<br>
We will be joined by historian and activist Alan W. Moore, who has
been working on setting up and documenting these spaces and
practices for almost forty years. We will start with an informal
lunch and sharing of food, spending the afternoon working through
and discussing materials that are brought, and then in the early
evening Alan will present his new book on the subject, Occupation
Culture: Art & Squatting in the City from Below, and the recent
anthology Making Room: Cultural Production in Occupied Spaces.<br>
